The promise of seeds
The farm, soon, will be full of green. Seeds are beginning to sprout and grow into baby plants in the greenhouse. Soon, these baby plants will be ready to transplant into the fields. After that, it will only be a short time until harvest begins. In just 8 weeks, if all goes as planned, weContinue…

Summer is over…
Our summer is ending. That may sound odd, but our “summer break” from growing ends at the beginning of August. Now, all of our careful plans for an abundant season will begin to take shape. We will begin sowing seeds in the greenhouse, getting ground prepped, and beginning the next growing cycle. We have beenContinue…

Final days

We will get our cover-crop seeds sown over the next week or so. The green cover-crops will growContinue…

Throwback!
Who remembers the beginning days of Little Pond Farm at the Saturday Morning Market? There we are in February of 2015 at the market. We are feeling reminiscent as we wrap up our 9th harvest season and begin plans for our 10th season of Little Pond Farm. When you shop with us, whether you’re trying toContinue…

Fields of flowers!
We try to spread health, happiness and beauty into the world with our work. In addition to all of our organic vegetables, we know that flowers are promoters of health, being scientifically proven to be natural mood boosters. Flowers have an immediate impact on joy. And so we keep growing more… acres of them to beContinue…

Make the harvest last through the off-season
The time to soak up the organic seasonal abundance is NOW. We do not harvest any veggies from the farm from June through September. So the time to preserve veggies for the off-season is when crops are abundant in the springtime! So, this post is dedicated to a few of our tried and true methods for storing freshContinue…

Hi, it’s been a while
Time flies. Our 35 week harvest season is just about two-thirds of the way through. The time is flying by – we have been busier than ever on the farm and raising a toddler. We have been quiet over email nearly the whole season! We’d like to share some of the best of what’s been happening at the farmContinue…

Roasted Veggie Sheet Pan Soup:
This recipe is a “template recipe” – it is so easy and adaptable. You can even clean out your fridge and use up what you have on hand, or just use a few veggies you were inspired to bring home from the market. The idea is – roast two sheet pans of mixed veggies, whateverContinue…

Little Pond Cherry Tomato Pasta:
This recipe came from an old friend working at a conservation research station in New York. It was a family recipe of hers and we’ve been making it for a decade now with our Little Pond cherry tomatoes! This is a super fast recipe for dinner in a pinch. All it requires is having a fewContinue…

Seasonal Rainbow Buddha Bowl Template:
Stay with us for this one – there is a lot of information here. What we are providing here is more of an adaptable template, and less of an exact recipe. The possibilities are endless, and we will outline several different approaches. The preparation takes a bit longer, but we use this as a make-aheadContinue…

Here we go!
In our break from writing a weekly newsletter, three months have now gone by on the farm. Though our harvest period is seasonal, the work does not stop on the farm when we aren’t at the market. During the summer, without crops to harvest, farming is a little different. We spend a great deal ofContinue…

This is it!
The final week of our harvest season is here. With 34 weeks of abundant harvests behind us, we are ready to gather all that remains for one final week of veggie boxes and farmers market! For some, it is hard to believe that the end of the season is here, when crops are still so prolific,Continue…

Two weeks
Lows in the 60’s and highs in the 80’s all week?! We’ll take it! That’s great farming weather, and it shows in the crops. Lettuce, in particular, is looking mighty fine for this time of year. We will enjoy this brief reprieve before super hot temps arrive next week. We are thankful for what will beContinue…

Three weeks
We made it through Mother’s Day! Mother’s Day week is always the busiest harvest week of the season at the farm – not only do we harvest the abundance of heavy springtime veggies, but add onto it twice as many flowers as a normal week on the farm. This year Mother’s Day week also coincided withContinue…

A final exhale after a long season seemsContinue…
